At Random Mouse Software we have implemented a number of security measures to ensure the safety of your credit card number during transactions. You may feel confident that your card number is safe from prying eyes for the following reasons:

• By ordering from our secure server (which utilizes a Secure Socket Layer) your card number will travel across the internet, from your browser to our server, in the strongly-encrypted SSL format.

• When we receive your card number we immediately re-scramble it (this time using industry-strength Triple DES encryption) and send it on to CyberCash, where it securely enters the banking network and is presented to your credit card issuer for authorization. This all takes place in real time. Your order is fulfilled a few seconds later (but may take as much as 2 minutes during busy times of the day) when we have received an authorization code from your card issuer. More information about CyberCash (now acquired by Verisign) can be found on the CyberCash Homepage. See also the Verisign Privacy Policy page for their statement on privacy matters.

• Your card number is never written to hard disk on our servers. It flows into our site, pauses momentarily in order to receive a new encryption format, and then heads off to the banking network. We do not keep a record of it. That way, even if our servers are compromised one day by some evil hacker genius, your card number won't be among the treasure they plunder from our site!
